Wallpaper - Dreams Of A Dapper Fox

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Dreams Of A Dapper Fox wallpaper captures a sleeping red fox curled up peacefully in a vintage armchair. The artwork features rich gouache and watercolor brushwork, pairing warm rust-orange and amber fur with the deep emerald and olive green tones of the upholstered armchair. The large-scale illustrative composition brings a cozy narrative quality to any interior, making it an engaging focal point. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

This wall mural works particularly well as a statement feature wall where the central subject can be appreciated in full. In a living room, study, library, or bedroom, we would place it on a primary wall, such as behind a sofa, a low desk, or a headboard. Because the illustration carries substantial color depth and visual warmth, it anchors a room without demanding complicated surrounding decor. Generous daylight brings out the varied painterly brushstrokes across the fox's coat, while soft evening lighting enhances the warm, intimate atmosphere created by the contrast between deep forest green and russet orange.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest leaning into classic, cozy interior elements that complement its storybook charm:

• Choose warm wood finishes such as mid-tone walnut, oak, or mahogany for surrounding furniture to echo the wooden trim of the illustrated armchair.
• Opt for soft, tactile upholstery and textiles in muted moss greens, warm taupe, or deep chocolate brown to harmoniously frame the scene.
• Keep wall accents and lighting classic with antique brass or bronze reading lamps that enhance the timeless, painterly mood.

Color combinations

The color foundation of our design pairs rich rust orange, ochre, and warm chestnut with forest green, olive, deep emerald, and soft charcoal accents. To complement these tones on adjacent walls and trim, consider deep olive green for a moody, enveloping feel, or a soft, warm linen beige to keep the space grounded and balanced. Burnt terracotta and warm cream accents also tie in naturally with the fox's warm coat and delicate white highlights.
